The netfilter bug tracking system

If you think you've found a bug, it is important to report
this bug to the netfilter/iptables project. We rely on bug
reports of our users in order to improve the quality.

Feature and enhancement requests can also be put into the
bug tracking system. This way it is assured that they are
not lost.

The netfilter core team

The netfilter core
team is the group of people who actively maintains the netfilter
framework. Please note, that this group is very small (currently
six people), and with an estimated number of millions of linux
installations, we cannot help individual users with their
firewall configuration. Regard this contact address as a last
resort, if all other options have failed.

When to contact the core team?

If you found an important security-relevant bug and want to inform the vendor before releasing any information about it.

If you need professional support, development or consulting related to netfilter and iptables.

Again, the coreteam will _NOT_ respond to any simple usage/configuration questions. Such kind of questions will be ignored. PLEASE refer to the user mailinglist

The netfilter/iptables webmaster

The netfilter webmaster is a volunteer who offers to maintain
the netfilter homepage's content. Please report any website-related
comments like broken links, typos, suggestions to
webmaster@netfilter.org.
